I worked with this Akira chapter cover for a wallpaper I did a while back. It had big blocks of text on the top corner I had to deal with in order to have a clean image. This was not an easy thing to do because Katsuhiro Otomo draws with a lot of sketchy detail. The normal thing to do would have been to use the perspective grid feature in PS and grab the clone tool. However my laptop can’t handle Adobe Photoshop CS and my version doesn’t have that famous grid. Using the clone tool without the grid would have been suicide.

this was a preview wallpaper of a Paint-o-rama contest in MiniTokyo. There is a walk-through of how I re-created half of the missing horse’s head in the resource section. Have fun!

Made this for a Halloween contest hosted in Pointless Vandalism forums. The theme was retro vintage horror posters à la Dracula, and there were THREE entries!
